"forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair" -- Kahlil Gibran.This quote perfectly describes my feelings in the spring and summer! I love being out in bare feel with a gentle breeze keeping the worst of the heat at bay. It's the perfect way to recharge and be re-inspired. In fact, I've set this picture as my desktop background so that when I get busy and forget to play outside, I'll have a reminder!.Where do you go to recharge?

Look look look! This is April's Ombre&Gradient Minis (at the back) flowing into May's Minis (at the front) but there's something really special about them. May's set are in Maia, our 80% bamboo yarn that has incredible sheen and a wonderful drape.

But I know that not everyone likes Maia, so we include it in the Mini-Skein Club only once a year, as a treat, and we do something special with it: we repeat the exact same dye recipes as the month before. Why? Because it means you can just skip it -- jump straight from April's bundle to June's -- and it doesn't ruin your Never Ending Gradient. And then you can use the Maia in its own project and no one is any the wiser.

Luma by @thefibrecompany is baaaack! This dk weight yarn was very popular last summer. The mix of cotton, linen, wool and silk make it an easy choice for all-season garments and accessories. We’re loving this soft, beachy color palette (there are plenty of neutrals on the back of the table too). Pattern: Stone Point by @kelbournewoolens.
